My step-father thinks that the Republican party is preparing to impeach Trump and remove him from office as soon as he crosses them, which is inevitable in my opinion. It makes sense, as they have their boy Mike Pence next in line.

I didn't support Trump in spite of not being a big Hillary supporter either. I voted Green again. I would've been fine, i guess, with Clinton 2 as president, with some reservations. Obama was a big disappointment to me, but overall i think he did well. My expectations for his administration were pretty high, maybe even unrealistically high, but even if i'd lowered them to realistic standards, he still would've been a disappointment.

I see some possible positives in a Trump administration. His own ego might lead him to try to create a truly positive legacy for the country; i'll admit it's not very likely, but i think it's possible, and if it happens, he could do a lot of amazingly good things. He's not bought and paid for like pretty much everybody else on Capitol Hill, which gives him unprecedented leverage.

Which also makes him incredibly dangerous to the vested interests. As if he wasn't dangerous enough on his own merits (or lack thereof, as the case may be).

What do you think will come of this administration? Will he ruin the country economically? Plunge the planet into a war that drags our societies back to the stone age? Will we have civil war in the US? Will he lead us into a new golden age? Will he be removed from office before any of that can happen?

Are you disgusted with the racist, hate-filled, misogynistic, bigot who is currently the President of the United States!? Well, so are we, and we want to help empower people to speak out against his hateful actions. Join the movement!

I consider him a threat to US democracy.

He may not be 'bought and paid' (highly debatable from where I sit), but he's opening himself to the possibility in very public ways: inviting members of Mar-a-Lago to participate in cabinet interviews? Naming CEOs and millionaire donors to high government positions?

Sorry, when you bring all the millionaires and the conspiracy theorists--not to mention the anti-Semites and neo-Nazis-- to the top levels of your administration, you lose all credibility as someone who won't be influenced by vested interests.

Witness DeVos, and the Goldman-Sachs people, and Pruitt, and Sessions, and...

Oh, and calling the press the enemy of the American People (with caps, of course), is too close to "enemies of the state" for my comfort.

It hasn't been all one-sided, though. He's reached out to the left as well, and to me they don't look like token gestures. He even has Elon Musk as a personal consultant. I know the guy's wealthy, but he's using his wealth to help humanity and Earth.

I definitely don't want to come across as a Trump apologist nor enthusiast. The dangers are all too real. All i'm saying is that i think there may be reason to hope as well. I don't feel the deep sense of despair that i felt when G.W. won in 2000.

Fairly secure because, for no other plausible reason, the Democrats are in highly visible disarray. President Trump's decision to destroy Syria's abhorrent poison gas capability was a particular turning point universally applauded. Obama dithered, conceivably sacrificing thousands more innocent lives in the process.
